Chapter 102 Shield
Zhao Yunyao: "Five packs, please."
Salesgirl: "Okay. The Sky-Flipping Worms are six months old, and they only cost 5 points a pack."
Zhao Yunyao curled her lips in disdain: "It's too expired, I don't want it."
Salesgirl: "Okay. Astronaut jelly, expired a week ago, 10 points each."
Zhao Yunyao nodded in satisfaction: "Twenty, please!"
Salesgirl: "Okay. This Mr. Bing's pickled cabbage beef noodles are six months past their expiration date, but they're not moldy and have been well-preserved. 30 points per pack!"
Zhao Yunyao's brows were furrowed so tightly that they almost formed a line. "How dare you try to sell me something like Master Bing's? Even dogs wouldn't eat that!"
The salesgirl glanced at her innocently. Didn’t she usually like him very much?
Just as she was about to continue reading, Zhao Yunyao's voice suddenly rang out: "Give me 20 packs!"
The salesgirl whispered, "There are only 10 packs left in stock."
Zhao Yunyao was incredulous. "Ah? Someone's eating Master Bing's food? Damn it! Hurry up and place my order! I can't let anyone else snatch it away."
The salesgirl's mouth twitched, and after saying "OK", she continued reading: "Xian Yu Shuang..."
Compared to what Zhao Yunyao exchanged, Pu Zhi's was much simpler. Except for some vegetables, everything else was replaced with crystal cores.
Afterwards, Pu Zhi gave the whole bag of vegetables to Mother Du. Even though it was only enough to stir-fry one bowl, it cost a full 500 points.
Ordinary people can't afford it at all, so eating some dehydrated vegetables is pretty good.
To be honest, ever since the Breath of Chaos appeared, the space has been able to grow vegetables. Qingyin usually takes good care of it, and the vegetables inside have piled up into a small mountain.
There are also some fruit trees planted inside, but the time flow in the planting area is almost 1:1 with that in the outside world, so they are still seedlings now, and we have to wait one or two years before we can eat the fruits.
But I usually open my own blind boxes, which contain fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and hot meals, so there is no need to rush.
Every time I was in Team 2, I only ate half full, and then sneaked into the space at night to have a snack. The blind box also thoughtfully included a breath freshener, so I didn’t have to worry about the smell in my mouth being discovered.
The next morning, the two teams set out together and drove to the base gate to gather.
In a window-side room on the second floor of Villa No. 1, Song Xin stood in front of the window, looking at the group of people who were about to leave with a gloomy look in his eyes. It was hard to tell whether the emotion in his heart was jealousy or envy.
For some reason, her vision suddenly blurred, the world became blurry for a moment, and her head felt dizzy. She supported herself on the window with one hand and rubbed her head with the other. Her face became even paler, and after taking a few deep breaths, she slowly felt better.
When she recovered and looked again, there was no trace of the vehicle.
In the vehicle, Pu Zhi silently withdrew her special powers. Song Xin's condition was not right, but what did it have to do with her? It would be best if she was killed by the base, haha.
The base gate.
Pu Zhi didn't expect that the army sent by the base this time would be led by Ye Zhou. She didn't know if it was fate.
There was a gap in his left arm, which made him look a little out of place, but this did not affect his ability to greet everyone with a smile.
After counting the number of people, he waited quietly for the base to open.
They set out at seven in the morning, and it was not until ten in the morning, when everyone was resting, that Pu Zhi saw the so-called thing that could block zombies.
A black cube of about five cubic centimeters, with no cracks on its body except for a green indicator light on the top.
Pu Zhi wanted to see the structure inside but found that she couldn't see it. Just when her supernatural power touched it, the green light turned red. When she retracted her supernatural power, it turned back to green.
Ye Zhou noticed the change in the light and turned to look at Pu Zhi.
Seeing that she was exposed, Pu Zhi, in order to avoid feeling guilty, simply smiled at him and asked, "What's in here? Why can't my clairvoyance see through it?"
Ye Zhou was not at all surprised by Pu Zhi's question. Instead, he smiled and handed the thing to her, explaining, "This was recently developed by Dr. Shang Xi. I heard that it uses a special zombie crystal core.
It not only blocks low-level zombies from detecting us, but also prevents those with special abilities from spying on us. This time, we are exchanging this material with Base No. 2 for high-yield potatoes."
Pu Zhi took the cube and played with it in his hand. The psychics also had crystal cores in their brains. The energy of zombies came from the crystal cores. This thing could block zombies and naturally it could also block psychics.
As for what Ye Zhou said about it being made of a special crystal core, Pu Zhi didn't completely believe it. If there really was a base, they would have sent a hunting team to kill it in a high-profile manner. How could they keep silent?
The crystal core inside is probably just a trick.
She returned the shield to Ye Zhou and asked, "Dr. Shangxi? Is that the Dr. Shangxi who discovered that acid rain can cause mutations?"
Ye Zhou: "Yes, Dr. Shang Xi is already 52 years old, and he is still committed to research and has made great contributions to mankind.
In 2032, he developed a controllable growth factor that is commonly used in the medical and beauty industries.
The doctor is currently working on researching the components of acid rain that can cause mutations. He said his greatest wish in his lifetime is to extract a component from acid rain that can turn zombies back into humans.
When talking about this, Ye Zhou's eyes were full of admiration. He had great respect for these scientific researchers who dedicated their lives to the future of mankind.
Pu Zhi nodded thoughtfully. It sounded very impressive. It would be great if it could really succeed.
"Do Dr. Shang Xi and Dr. Lin Qiuzhi know each other?"
Ye Zhou was surprised: "Dr. Lin is Dr. Shang Xi's disciple, don't you know?"
Pu Zhi looked dejected: "I rarely pay attention to these things."
Seeing her like this, Ye Zhou felt that he had spoken too harshly, and took the initiative to soften the tone: "Ah, look, you guys are usually in District 2, and you have to kill zombies, so you don't have much contact with the doctor and the others. It's normal that you didn't know. I'm making a fuss. Sorry."
Pu Zhi slowly shook her head: "It's okay, I'm just too much of a homebody."
Ye Zhou scratched his head awkwardly and remained silent for a long time. Perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was too awkward, he took the initiative to talk about Dr. Lin and Dr. Shang Xi.
"After Dr. Shangxi developed a controllable growth factor in 2032, he became famous and many people rushed to become his disciples, including some from prominent families.
But Dr. Shang Xi looked down on all of them and finally chose only two disciples from poor backgrounds. One of them was Dr. Lin Qiuzhi, who had been with Dr. Shang Xi for 20 years.
Dr. Lin lost his father at a young age, and his mother died shortly after he became Dr. Shangxi's disciple. Dr. Shangxi never married in his life to devote himself to scientific research.
The two doctors now have a father-son relationship. They do a lot of research together.”
